Connecting the European VC ecosystem We're democratizing access to European VC. Just like the one we saw for public stocks in the late 1900s.
It's our mission to disseminate knowledge and create community and access to investment opportunities to the best emerging managers on the continent. The world-renowned VC John Doerr famously said; "If you can't invent the future, the next best thing is to fund it" Then why the hell has the general public been prohibited from investing into venture capital?! 🤔
Luckily, we're bound for a revolut
ion of the private markets. And it's by time; for decades private markets have outperformed the public markets. As the world transitions to an evermore tech-based economy, venture capital stands to reap the lion's share, with the best fund managers showering investors with double digit returns 💰. But for the vast majority - people like you and me - the model has been broken. Outdated regulations throughout Europe have long required the net worth of investors to be well above average; what's more, managers of VC funds have not been able to market their funds publicly. The result is an - at best - opaque market. Luckily bold "VC entrepreneurs" are moving the needle on this ✊
New ways to democratize access to VC are coming and we believe the 2020s will be the years when capitalizing on the future stops being reserved for the wealthy.
